Police are investigating a “critical incident” Wednesday at the MolsonCoors headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

A large police presence was on scene at the beer company’s MillerCoors campus and the Milwaukee Police Department asked people stay clear of the area in a statement on Twitter.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said on Twitter that it was responding to an active shooting at the MillerCoors building. Milwaukee police said about an hour later that there was no longer an active threat.

A number of schools and businesses in the surrounding area were on lockdown as authorities responded to the incident, according to NBC affiliate WTMJ.

MolsonCoors, which owns both the Coors and Miller beer brands, said it was aware of an active situation at its Milwaukee facility and was working with authorities.

“Our top priority is our employees and we’ll provide updates in conjunction with the police as we are able,” the company said on Twitter.

Molson fully acquired MillerCoors in 2016 and announced it would rebrand the company to Molson Coors Beverage Co. last year, according to a USA Today report from October. The shift was also part of a corporate restructure that moved hundreds of jobs from Denver to Milwaukee in a cost cutting measure.
